⚛️ About Atomic Cards

• Cards are ordered by word frequency, but each definition is split into its own atomic card.

  As a result, high-frequency words may surface multiple cards early, including less common meanings.

• To make this easier to manage, words with two or more definition cards are labeled with sense-priority tags: core, extend, and rare, so you can focus on the most useful meanings first.

• If a card is not relevant to your goals, feel free to suspend or delete it.

🛠 How to Use

• Download and install Anki.

• Import the deck .apkg file.

• Start reviewing from the highest frequency sub-deck for maximum efficiency.

• If you prefer translations in languages other than Simplified Chinese, you can edit the ExampleTR* fields accordingly.
